Cirila is from Mexico. She needs a loan of $400 to buy ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, chili, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, cooking oil, and meat.
Cirila is a single mother of three children: one who is studying Automotive Engineering while the other two are already married. Cirila began cooking and selling typical Mexican snacks two years ago. She started because she wanted to get more income to support her son with his studies. Cirila is happy to have chosen a profitable activity, explaining that she has had the opportunity to get the most important goods and supplies for her family.
Cirila would like a loan in order to improve her business, get more income, and save a little more to help her son. With a loan from World Vision she plans to buy all the needed ingredients for her snacks incluing tomatoes, onions, chili, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, cooking oil, and meat. She also plans to buy disposable tableware.
With the additional profits, Cirila will be able to better provide for her family. Her short-term goal is to buy a stove for her house because it is an essential appliance. She also wants to continue helping her son in order to see him in a good job one day. In the future, Cirila hopes to fulfill her dream of having her own establishment and opening up her own restaurant.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
Residents of the community of Cuajinicuilapa are primarily a mix of native Mexicans and Africans, who originally arrived with the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes. The region’s close proximity to the coast enables residents to participate in a wide range of economic activities, including commerce, agriculture, and fishing.
